The Damage Profile isn't the primary drawback of the ScR, the Heat Buildup is. The problem with your line of reasoning, is that the shot will still be doing proportionally higher damage to shields as well, you seem to be trying to characterize it as magically no longer having its profile which isn't the case. Any weapon is capable of stacking damage mods and doing additional damage vs the buffer they are weaker to...while the ScR may be a unique case in that it builds up more damage as it charges, it also builds up additional heat...every point of damage you build up past your base damage to that buffer generates 3x the heat of the "normal" damage...after foxfour that will be 4x the heat. Part of the trouble when looking at Laser type weaponry in this game is that they have both heat and magazine capacity...which both function as hard DPS limiters, it's better to look at a heat cycle as a sort of magazine cycle on its own.

The issue is with proficiency, warbarge, and damage modifiers added to the profile you are talking over 150% damage before any charge is applied. The primary drawback first and fore most is that for all it gains against shields it is suppose to be less proficient against armor by a fairly big margin but that is being completely cancelled out by how other bonuses stack with the charge bonus.

The only thing we can really compare to is the combat rifle with its +15 / -15 profile. Overall almost any armor player would be glad to say it is OP while any shield player would say that it is not that bad. This is because its damage profile is working as intended.

deezy dabest IMPERIAL SPECIAL FORCES GROUP Evil Syndicate Alliance. 3	Posted - 2015.09.29 19:38:00 - [1] - Quote I kind of feel dumb never having realized this before. The scrambler rifle receives FAR too much benefit from damage mods. No other weapon in the game has the ability to modify its own damage so it is something easily overlooked. A full charge on the scrambler rifle gives it a x4 multiplier. That means that a 7% damage mod effectively becomes a 28% boost from one module. This is precisely why the thing stays so effective against armor no matter what we do. As some saw in the testing that Thaddeus and myself did there is always a damage multiplier meaning there is no instance where a damage mod only does 7% The same issue applies to the constantly growing warbarge multipliers. EDIT: This also makes mod stacking wildly effective over all other weapons. A normal weapon looks about like this with 3 mods stacked: Individual bonuses: 7.00%, 6.08%, 3.99%, Total bonus: 18.04% A fully charged ScR receives a benefit something like this: 28.00%, 24.34%, 15.98%, Total bonus: 84.58% WOWOWOW Enter warbarges and proficiency skills and there we have it. The only voice for a port is the voice of reason from money drying up. More skins and 1% damage to keep Dust on PS3.

That means that a 7% damage mod effectively becomes a 28% boost from one module. This... is not how maths works. If you damage mod a base SCR shot that is doing, for example, 100 damage (just an example) with a 7% damage mod, it will do 107 damage. This is a 7% increase. If you damage mod a charged SCR shot that is doing, for example, 400 damage, it will do 428 damage. This is a 7% increase. Regardless of the initial magnitude, the damage mod only has a 7% effect.

Lets say 100 as base damage 100 * .07 = 107 107 * 4 = 428 400 * 1.07 = 428 See how that works? The fun of percentages. The effective result of a 7% damage mod on a fully charged ScR is still 28% no matter how you try to look at it. EDIT for Arkena. I realize that but I am talking about the effective gain received from placing a damage mod on a scrambler rifle. Any other weapon ONLY receives 7% while the scrambler receives 28% from its base damage when added in with a full charge. The only voice for a port is the voice of reason from money drying up.

As has been explained, twice, 7% of a bigger number is a bigger number than 7% of a smaller number, to be sure, but its still 7%. This fuzzy math only steers us away from the real issue. The overheat nerf shows us the devs agree, its the combo of high alpha and sustained dps with no real drawback that was the problem. Scramblers were like a shotgun with a machine gun bolted on.

Baal Omniscient Qualified Scrub 2	Posted - 2015.09.30 00:48:00 - [15] - Quote I believe his point is that the 28 damage bump is 28% of the 100 base non-charged damage. OP; Are you suggesting that it should only be 7% of base damage applied to the charged shot and not 7% of the total charged shot? I don't really get where you are trying to go with this.

Agreed. It is disingenuous to claim that ScR get a 28% damage boost from one damage mod, because that is not what is happening. ScR get a 400% (4x) damage boost from charging, and then get a normal 7% (0.07) damage boost of that charged shot from a damage mod. Additionally, it's silly to say that "the scrambler receives 28% from its base damage when added in with a full charge" because you are conflating extra 7% damage boost to a charged shot to the base damage. You have two variables (Charge shot, damage mod) and no controls (constants). A similarly poor analogy would be to compare the damage that a laser rifle with one damage mod does at the upper heat limit to the base damage of a rifle. By your "math", the laser rifle would get some ridiculously high bonus from a damage mod when compared to the base damage of another rifle.

The rof weapons make up for it with... Rof. Supposed to be a scale like [high alpha/low rof] to [low alpha/high rof] Thats why we have to think in terms of ttk. The balance is broken when the kill is had after the third shot of an alpha (which occurs .5 seconds after the first hit) No surprise that high alpha weapons are most popular given that we have limits on our hp. That huge first hit, even applying profiles, is still a huge freaking hit. It's hard to beat up hundreds of armor piercing bullets using only your face...

Breakin Stuff Goonfeet Special Planetary Emergency Response Group 11	Posted - 2015.09.30 07:48:00 - [23] - Quote Deezy is skipping a logical step in his explanation here: That of scale. By his logic it's 28% of the base damage per shot, not 28% of the charged shot. So three mods, after stacking penalties on a charged shot would provide 72.16% of a baseline (not a charged) shot when fired on full charge. so if you just use his spitball math of a 100 point base shot and a x4 charge shot you'd get 472.16 damage on a full charge. I see where his logic is going, he's just not explaining it particularly well. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Overall almost any armor player would be glad to say it is OP while any shield player would say that it is not that bad. This is because its damage profile is working as intended. Proficiency only mods the profile vs shields on the ScR...not against armor. And while staking 3 damage mods with Warbarge will negate the "negative" on the damage profile (doing a little more than 1x damage actually...1.0198x damage), you're still vs shields getting that massive 1.7592x Damage Multiplier...and regardless of what multipliers you add on past that, the damage proportion will remain similar. That's a difference in damage percentage of over 70% when all is said and done. Let's compare this to a Plasma Rifle with Max Warbarge and 3x Damage mods...it too will completely negate it's negative damage profile against armor, doing 1.1373x damage vs armor and 1.613x Damage vs Shields...and just reverse those numbers for the rail rifle. CBRs do 1.68589x Damage with the same setup vs armor and still do 1.308356x Damage vs shields. If you look...the damage profiles at the end arive about where you'd expect them to be...maintaining proportional damage based on type. The only thing the ScR can do that's different is frontload some of its charges into the Charge Shot...at a cost of heat (effectively magazine in terms of fire limiting power). I'd hardly call the CBR OP anymore...it's right about where it needs to be vs both my armor suits and my shield suits. I'm holding off any further judgment on the Scrambler Rifle until we see how these upcoming changes will affect the performance (think about how huge they are for a second...particularly that slow-on-charge one).
